Two Brits have been arrested on the Costa Blanca following the tragic death of a 76-year-old UK pensioner. The detainees include the deceased woman’s 38-year-old daughter and a 73-year-old male friend. This incident has shocked the community and raised questions over their failure to call emergency services when the woman suffered a fall.
A Preventable Tragedy
It is reported that the woman fell days before her untimely demise at her residence in Rojales near Torrevieja, south of Alicante. Shockingly, the suspects are suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and neglecting to make the necessary emergency call. Instead, they allegedly chose to continue drinking heavily, leading to tragic consequences.
The authorities have launched a manslaughter investigation, treating the incident as a case of omission. The suspects claim to have alerted the police in the early hours of Tuesday morning after discovering the pensioner’s lifeless body. However, the details surrounding the deceased woman’s state at the time of the fall remain unclear.
The Investigation
Civil Guard officers in Alicante are expected to provide an official statement regarding the incident later this week. This update will likely follow the suspects’ appearance in court for a remand hearing. While it is believed that the male suspect is a friend of the deceased, his exact relationship and residential status are yet to be confirmed.
